Blue Water Intelligence proudly celebrates the distinction of its President, Philippe Gautier, who has been awarded the Légion d’Honneur in recognition of a lifetime of service, leadership, and commitment to innovation.

Europe is putting water at the center of resilience, competitiveness, and climate adaptation. For BWI, the EU Water Resilience Strategy confirms that data-driven monitoring and smarter basin management are becoming essential.

The Godavari basin is one of India’s most strategically important freshwater systems. It supports roughly 76 million people, sustains major agricultural economies across five Indian states, and functions in practice as a transboundary basin where upstream and downstream decisions made in one state reshape water security in another.

For BWI, the Godavari is best understood not as a single river, but as a complex water economy under stress. Its core challenge is not simply scarcity or abundance, but volatility: too much water in some places and seasons, too little in others, and not enough reliable intelligence to manage the system as a whole.

With the release of v2.14, Blue Water Intelligence continues to strengthen the performance and reach of its hydrological forecasting service. This update focuses on a key improvement: significantly faster access to forecasts, alongside expanded geographic coverage and ongoing model enhancements.

BWI powers continental river flow forecasting delving on EU Data Foundation as many of the data sources BWI uses come from Copernicus, EU’s Earth Observation Programme, which offers information services that draw from satellite Earth Observation and in-situ data.

We’re pleased to welcome Hanbing Peng, Precise Orbit Determination Specialist at BWI. With a strong background in geoscience and satellite navigation, Hanbing contributes to the REVALTO satellite mission by ensuring highly accurate orbit determination – a key element for reliable Earth observation data.

We’re pleased to welcome Bassam Chehade, Signal Processing Engineer at BWI. With a PhD in SAR imaging and extensive experience in remote sensing and radar signal processing, Bassam contributes to the REVALTO satellite mission by transforming radar measurements into meaningful geophysical parameters used to monitor inland waters.

BWI participated in the first edition of the Eau & IA Congress in Grenoble, organized by the Société Hydrotechnique de France. Three days of exchanges at the intersection of water, data and artificial intelligence.

We’re pleased to welcome François Verdeil, Signal Processing Engineer at BWI. With around ten years of experience in signal processing and a recent specialization in radar signal processing, François contributes to the REVALTO satellite mission by transforming raw radar measurements into usable data for hydrological analysis.
